    Apple Watch Doubters Wrong: You Need a Smartwatch Now

    More to the point - if you just tap your phone's home button you get noticed of anything you may have missed. Stupid reasoning in this article. So how many hours are going to add to your wrist tether looking for notifications, then spend the time pulling out your phone to respond? Most people...

    Apple Watch Doubters Wrong: You Need a Smartwatch Now

    No I don't need a smartwatch. This is a lame article since we all don't want another lame gadget on our wrists that only mirror what our phones do. If it isn't a fitness tracker (which can be had for way less money than the iWatch) then it's a waste in my opinion. Other than fitness the...

    Trickey Lets You Build Your Own Mechanical Keyboard

    Wow. Horrible idea. Too tall, looks like it would move around constantly, and that price point? Totally useless. I whined in several Steam machine threads about manufacturers attempting to fool all of us into smaller and smaller subsets of products as if we need them. This takes the cake. I...

    Gold Apple Watch, Like All Jewelry, is a Rip-Off

    I have a Breitling - love it - it was expensive. But I agree with the article, this "watch" will be nearly useless within 2 years. My Breitling? Worth every penny for decades. It is a true work of art not a flash in the pan tech toy. And my disdain for this toy comes from a long-time iPhone...

    Rent an Apple Watch For $45 a Day

    Agree this thing is stupid at the prices they want. No thank you.

    Apple Watch Hands-on: Worth the Hype?

    No reason to buy any of these watches at the price points Apple has them set at. They are fugly, boderline useless things. Other than a straight fitness band I see no reason to stick one of these things on my wrist. Is it because of our obsession with sci-fi we think it's cool to talk or play...

    Apple Watch Event: All the Details

    $15 for HBO is a deal. The writer saying it is "somewhat steep" doesn't apparently pay for it now if their cable/satellite bundle. I pay more than that in my Directv bundle ($18). I have been waiting to ditch Directv altogether for the HBO deal (will pick up Hulu, Netflix, and HBO) and save...

    Far Cry 4 Developer Downplays Racial Politics

    I love the FC series and this one is no exception - having a great time playing - thanks Ubi (even with some of the issues at launch)!

    After HBO & Showtime, Will AMC Go Online a la Carte?

    I am looking forward to jumping ala cart and planning the switch when HBO jumps out. Since I already have a large internet bill for my 50+ speed and a $150 bill for my Directv - picking up Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and few others will still save me cash. Heck even if the "bundle" I create comes in...

    Apple Pay: Can You Trust It?

    Let's see - have had cell phones since 1994 - never lost or had one stolen. Check. Have had bank accounts for much longer including credit cards. Have had them lost or stolen. Check. Have kept on top of my finances. Check. Make sure I don't open every email that says l'm a winner or...

    Pine Smartwatch Sheds Smartphone Tether

    That thing is a pig! Wow geek much? At least that is what I would hear constantly if I walked around with that monster on my wrist. Pretty soon someone will come out with a phablet on a band and say - "Look! New smart watch!"

    Navdy Puts Messages and Apps on Your Car Dashboard

    Love the video though. Pretty cool for those that don't have a car with nav already, but my last 6 cars all had (have it) and I won't be buying a new car without one in the future. I assume more connectivity is coming for all vehicles - but I thought this was a pretty cool toy (one that...

    DirecTV Will Deliver 4K Content by 2016

    This is why I will not be owning a 4k panel anytime soon. I like my Directv and see no reason to have a TV that is pretty much useless at this time.

    Your iPhone May Be Rigged to Spy on You

    I would love the hear this explanation. I do love my iPhone and have known there are backdoors on almost all devices since the whole Snowden thing hit, but man cant we have some place to ourselves anymore (talking to myself no longer works there are too many people)?
